Cultural Legacy
There is a suburb of Montreal, Dollard-des-Ormeaux named after him. Likewise, Avenue Dollard in LaSalle and Shawinigan, Quebec, and rue Dollard in Saint Boniface, Manitoba, are also named in his honour.
Monument to Dollard des Ormeaux, created by sculptor Alfred Laliberté and the architect Alphonse Venne, was inaugurated in Parc Lafontaine on June 24, 1920.
A basrelief of the Maisonneuve Monument portraited Dollard des Ormeaux in the Battle of Long Sault.
In Quebec, Victoria Day was, since the Quiet Revolution, unofficially known as Fête de Dollard until 2003, when provincial legislation officially named the same date as Victoria Day the National Patriots' Day.
